Intravesical Hyperthermia System

Elmedical provides a system (console and catheters) for minimally invasive non-ablative high temperature treatments (hyperthermia) of urological diseases.input:
output:Bladder Wall Thermochemotherapy (BWT) for Bladder Cancer:Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is managed by BWT.

BWT delivers bladder wall thermochemotherapy, which induces uniform hyperthermia throughout the bladder through the application of a heated Mitomycin-C solution at a high flow rate.

BWT generates conductive heat that is effortless to regulate within the bladder.

BWT heat is applied uniformly and precisely throughout the bladder, preventing the formation of "hot spots" or ineffective "cold spots."



Bladder Wall Thermochemotherapy (BWT) treats non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) by combining chemotherapy instillation with uniform bladder wall hyperthermia.input:
output:The combination of heat and drug has a synergistic effect:
The cancer tissue (neoplastic tissue) is selectively damaged by heat.There are three mechanisms by which heat enhances the uptake of drugs by tissue:

Blood flow is enhanced by heat, which makes it more accessible to the tissue.

The drug's permeability to the cell membrane is enhanced by heat.

The metabolism of drugs is accelerated by heat, with a 50% increase for every 1 centigrade above 37 centigrade.input:
output:The procedure that provides the highest level of patient comfort:

Painless; performed exclusively with topical anesthesia.

There is no post-procedural catheter.

Absence of rectal, bladder, or tissue temperature probes.

The patient resumes their regular activities the following day.
